Let's see, so this song is about a friend of his who hung himself, and another friend you shot himself. It's so obvious this guy needs some new friends
If you really don't know about the Primus sucks thing then you don't know about Primus. It's an slogan they've had for themselves. It's not meant as insult.
This song has a crazy story and a massive bass line . Deliciously eerie music with dark lyrics of a friend who commited suicide.....wont be hearing songs like this on radio folks !
Personally, this is the ultimate Primus song: catchy, complex and, ultimately, empathetic and human. It proves to me that Primus is not weird for weird's sake, but rather seeking a new way of expression. Wonderfull and brilliant. (Thanks, guys. I don't listen to you all that often, but my life would be poorer without you.)
eight months later and i still dont have a cam. i kind of lost my precision with the slap/insta muted strum but i can relearn it quick. did it once i can do it again! and im getting a laptop with a cam.. finally.
Finally some one else who knows that they hate that lame slogan, I constantly have to tell fans of Primus that every time I see "Primus sucks" on a video
it doesnt upset me at all, just irritates. there are alot better things to be saying about primus other than people arguing the fact over the primus sucks slogan.
To quote Claypool himself at a show in 2006: "We don't say that anymore!"
He's quite tired of the "slogan" now, and it's gone back to actually meaning that Primus is a bad band. People who still say it are basically retarded.
I lost all my primus CDs in a fire... Its a damn shame...I must rebuild. Im gonna hang myself in the apartment where I live :) lol..... PRIMUS SUCKS!!!
Pork soda is one of my favoriote primus albums bob is one of my favorite songs i also like mr krinkle, dmv , my name is mud and hamburger train. primus is one of my favorite bands
what i meant was the guitar techniqe used at that moment in the song sounds cool and isn't that hard to pull off. i think it is called a harmonic arpeggiator..
ehhhh......like to see you play the whole song mistake free. I hate it when people say primus is easy to play, half the time they are some noob 10 yr old.
some songs are easy tho... like tommy the cat, i learned that in 5 minutes, just 2 chords most of the time, but they have friggin hard songs like this one or, DMV scissor man and Lacquer head
i love in interviews when people ask him about this song, they think its a joke when in reality he actually had a friend who took a belt and hung himself in the doorway of the appt where he lived. i think people have a hard time thinking he could write a song like this about his dead friend.
Uhmmm....0-ZERO...dislikes. Period.
